What custom LED neon signs look like
How we build LED neon signs
Every sign follows the same route through our workshop: dimension drawing, lighting effect design, CNC cutting and assembly, a 48-hour lighting test, then timber-framed crating for export. You approve the drawing before we cut anything, and we send photos or video at each step.

How LED neon signs are made
LED neon is not glass neon. A flexible silicone tube with LEDs inside is bent to follow your design, then fixed to a clear or black acrylic backer that is cut to match the outline. That makes it shockproof for shipping, safe at 12V on site, and far cheaper to run than traditional glass neon.
Silicone flex tube
Flexible, unbreakable tube that holds colour along its whole length.
Continuous line redraw
We re-path your artwork as one continuous stroke so the light never doubles back.
Cut-to-shape backer
Clear, black or custom-coloured acrylic cut to the outline, with hidden fixings.
Choose your neon colour
Each sign can be built in one colour, or in several colours with separate circuits. Send a Pantone or hex reference and we match it; two-colour logos are wired as two circuits.
Warm White
Cool White
Red
Pink
Purple
Blue
Ice Blue
Green
Multi-colour signs use one circuit per colour, so they can be switched independently.
What's inside an LED neon sign
UV silicone flex tube
Flexible LED neon tube, sealed against moisture and UV-stable for long life.
Cut-to-shape acrylic backer
Clear, black or coloured acrylic with hidden mounting fixings.
Mean Well UL Recognized driver
Class 2, 12V low voltage with a US plug-and-play adapter and dimmer option.
What a factory-direct neon build gets you
Most neon sold in the US is resold from a wholesaler with 40%–60% markup and no artwork check. We redraw the artwork, bend and test the tube in our own workshop, and ship it DDP with the driver and fixings included.
Artwork redrawn as one line
We re-path the design so the tube never crosses itself and the glow stays clean.
Shockproof for shipping
Silicone tube and acrylic backer arrive crated without glass to break.
48-hour burn-in
Every sign runs lit for 48 hours before crating, with photos for approval.
Mean Well UL Recognized drivers
Mean Well UL Recognized 12V drivers, dimmable on request.
Indoor and covered outdoor
Sealed tube rated for sheltered exterior walls, bars terraces and event spaces.
Turnkey DDP delivery
Freight, US import duties and final delivery are all inside our quoted price.
Neon builds we run most often
Bar and club neon
Feature words, slogans and logo neon for bars, clubs and taprooms.
Interior feature walls
Large script and phrase designs for offices, salons and studios.
Event and wedding neon
Lightweight signs for events, weddings and pop-up activations.
Logo and wordmark neon
Brand logos redrawn as continuous neon lines, single or multi-colour.
How much do custom LED neon signs cost?
Custom LED neon signs cost $800–$2,500 per sign, delivered DDP to your US address.
Factory quote in 24 hours — free 3D mockup and DDP price before you pay.
Neon signs are priced by total neon line length, backer size and mounting — so a wordmark, a script logo and a full wall feature are different builds. Send your artwork and size and we return a line-item DDP price with the mockup, usually within 24 hours.
- Total neon length — pricing follows the metres of tube, not the backer size
- Number of colours — each extra colour needs its own circuit and wiring
- Backer shape and size — cut-to-outline acrylic costs more than a rectangle
- Mounting and control — dimmers, remote drivers and hanging kits are quoted separately when needed
Send your artwork (even a phone photo of a sketch works) and the size you want, and we return a line-item DDP price with the mockup.

How much do custom LED neon signs cost?
Neon is priced by total tube length, the number of colours and the backer shape, so a wordmark and a full wall feature are very different builds. Send your artwork and size and we return a line-item DDP price with the mockup — usually within 24 hours.
Is this real glass neon?
No. It is UV silicone flex neon with LEDs inside the tube. It looks like glass neon but is flexible, unbreakable in transit, runs at 12V instead of high voltage, and uses a fraction of the power.
Can LED neon be used outdoors?
Yes, on covered or sheltered exterior walls — bar terraces, canopies and entrance features. The tube is sealed against moisture; for fully exposed locations we add extra sealing and confirm the right spec from your photos.
How is the sign installed?
Signs arrive pre-wired with a 1:1 paper template and hidden standoff or screw fixings. Most clients mount them to drywall or timber in under an hour, and no electrician is needed because it runs on a standard 110V plug.
How long does manufacturing and delivery take?
Production takes 5 working days after you approve the mockup, and DDP air shipping adds 12 to 20 days.
What do I need before I request a quote?
Your artwork — vector files are ideal, but a sketch or phone photo is fine — plus the approximate size you want, whether it is indoor or covered outdoor, and your full delivery address. We need the complete address to calculate the exact DDP freight.
